Shooting Star

Life is rendered incomplete
I'm lost in the amber light
Falling further through the cracks
The world is drifting out of sight
A broken, shattered soul
No more glimmer in my eyes
Your shadow's in the distance
But where is the sunrise?
(Bridge)
And now I sit amidst
A thousand sunken ships
Remembering the words
That echoed from your lips
(Chorus)
And I scream
Save me
From this hole I've fallen into
Save me
It seems there's nothing I can do
Save me
From this hole I've fallen into
Save me
'Cause my only glimpse of light...
Is you.

Drifting hopelessly through time
Fading further from myself
As the water salts this wound
My heart is lost inside the swell
But your smile brings it back
Like driftwood unto the shore
Now I'm left with footprints in the sand
And that hurts even more
(Bridge)
Yes, the leaves of spring
Will fall early this year
Because I know, now, that
You will not be here
(Chorus)
And I scream
Save me
From this hole I've fallen into
Save me
It seems there's nothing I can do
Save me
From this hole I've fallen into
Save me
'Cause my only glimpse of light...
Is you.

I'm Still Here

I want you to tell me why
You always pushed away from me
And I want you to tell me why
You kept me away from everything

‘Cause now I hide inside the shadows
Afraid of everything I am
And I cannot begin to ponder
The thought of breaking free again
Out of every single pore
Comes the blood of pure emotion
There’s a chill inside my chest
Like the coldest winter ocean…
… Yet, I’m still here…

I want you to tell me why
You would never love me back
I want you to explain your games to me
And why my world turned to black
And I want to know why
I could never see the madness
Yeah, I want to know why
Because all I’m left with is the sadness

And now I’m falling from myself
At one million miles per hour
Life’s a constant flash before my eyes
The taste of grapes turned sour
Still I’m wading through the darkness
Searching for the light that used to be
Peaking from behind the shadows
And trying to forget the memories.

…But I’m still here…
…I'm still here…
Yeah, I'm still here.

Canvas of Tragedy

The traffic passes by
Another cigarette in the city
A lost and lonely night
The air is stale and gritty
So many miles traveled
Only pavement lay behind
A pathway to escape
The approaching daily grind
Buried beneath my feelings
A blanked and faded complexion
There's a glare upon the window
But where is my reflection?
I cannot find myself
And nobody can see me
Another battle every minute
The stars - no longer gleaming
Pressing into the abyss
But I cannot answer why
The eyes of life are wet
But the rivers have ran dry
Imbibing more than once tonight
A chance to get away
Broken clouds reveal the blue
But my skies are all still gray
My heart has seemed to seize up
As tense as a clinched fist
The feeling of total emptiness
Does nothing but persist
These thoughts inside my head
Race so far out of control
While confidence loses ground
Complete unrest distends my soul
I walk slowly down the street
Everything begins to cry
As a few tears turn to many
The flowers begin to die
All of the colors wash away
From my canvas of tragedy
Everything just crumbles down
What is happening to me?
